Overlay install question?
I tried to install bluebats overlays on my tail lights but I couldn't get it aligned. I ordered the gtr style. I've spent hours trying to align it. The circles just don't align. I get the left lights aligned but the reverse light will be off by half a circle. Anyone who did this can you tell me how you aligned it? When you spray soapy water on the overlay does the circles align when you put them on? I figure I have to cut the overlay in half to get it to align cause there is no way I can slap one piece right on there and align it. I've tried heating it up a bit to shrink it no luck though. I took it off and put it in water but it has a few wrinkles on it now. Haven't tried slaping the other overlay. Anyone did this share how it worked out for you.

I bought a set as well and made an attempt at an install a couple weeks ago.. I thought I was crazy until I read this post. I spent the longest time trying to get them to line up but they did not fit correctly not matter what I did. I used a heat gun and had one of my buddies help.. Could not do it. I decided I might as well go the old fashioned way and paint em. Looks better anyway. When I ordered them I was under the impression that they were cut exactly to fit with a little extra around the outside edges. Needless to say - I was wrong.
